From a French private collection, with older handwritten ticket. These dies are not illustrated by Von Kaenel, Münzprägung des Claudius, pl. 4-5. The wreath worn by Drusus on his aurei and denarii, misidentified as a laurel wreath until recognized as oak by D. Salzmann in 1976, was presumably an honor voted to him by the Senate after his death.. VF
